Lloud Kaufman
For nearly thirty-five years, Lloyd Kaufman has been making low-budget, grade-B horror-comedy splatter films. He is co-founder of Troma, an indy studio that has churned out classics like Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town, Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell, and – most famously – the Toxic Avenger series. Without Troma, there’d be no South Park; Trey Parker and Matt Stone are avowed Kaufman disciples. His films usually feature a message – something about how evil, international conglomerates are sucking the life out of humanity – and always feature blood, guts and goo in absurd, grisly excess. His latest film takes on fast food. It’s called Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead, and Lloyd Kaufman joins us now.
